Robot General
From the author of The Third World War and A House Divided comes a frightening tale of the future of war.
Meet the XM-800A. It’s a merciless military robot that can fire an anti-material rifle without flinching and, if necessary, break a man in half. Some people believe that it’s the future of war. Others are afraid that they might be right.
Robot General is the story of Malcolm Lloyd Howard, an officer in the United States Army and a military maverick in the tradition of Billy Mitchell, Hyman Rickover, John Boyd, and Bernard Schriever. Howard’s belief is that the mass deployment of unmanned systems and cyber-weapons marks a new epoch in the history of warfare, and he’s prepared to fight every bureaucrat in the Pentagon and Congress in order to make that happen.
The world is waiting for Howard’s weapons as, from downtown Shanghai to the streets of Paris and on the plains of South Africa, a new age of unmanned warfare is ready to commence.
